Ragged Bear Festival 2026

Ragged Bear is a grassroots alternative music festival that thrives on raw energy, heavy riffs, and a fiercely independent spirit. Set in Nuneaton, this intimate gathering brings together a diverse lineup of underground and cult-favorite acts spanning stoner rock, doom, sludge, psych, and experimental sounds. With a carefully curated bill featuring both rising talent and established names, Ragged Bear champions authenticity over hype.

More than just a gig, it’s a full-bodied experience - hosted in a characterful venue that blurs the line between festival and community gathering. Expect a welcoming crowd of passionate music lovers, immersive visuals, and a late-night atmosphere that leans into the strange and the heavy. From hypnotic grooves to crushing walls of sound, Ragged Bear is where the UK’s alternative scene comes to roar.
